Drawing and Painting- Watercolor

We will be continuing our exploration of the basic shape/sculpting drawing technique with another observation exercise.  The key to drawing from observation is to draw the objects that you see, not preconceived notions of what they look like.  
Begin by look at the link below to see examples of Janet Fish's work:

Choose a glass object and fill it half way with water, then place an object in that is partially submerged.  The goal for this project is to fit the entire subject on the page and draw it as accurately as you can.  I will provide a demo on the four basic watercolor techniques next week and we will employ those techniques to complete the piece.  
Remeber to take one step at a time and always be looking back and forth between your subject and your paper.  Have fun!
